A View From a Watcher's
POV
Well another week is about to
come to an end on Port Charles, and yet are still stuck in the bottle!
Maybe perhaps we should be on the bottle, like a bottle of Pepsi, Coke,
or Jolt. Let's see where do I begin?
Usually my predictions are right,
but this appearance of Ms. Haskell wasn't the arrival of Marty that I had
long been anticipating. Instead, it turns out that Susan was none
other than Ian's dead sister Granille! Yikes! So, overestimated,
however, I would like to remind the viewers at home, that I bet only part
of the DL56 royalties on this... not all of it! But in a
roundabout way, after doing
some research, I remembered that Patrick was reminded of his sister's spirit
(in terms of spunk, etc.) in Marty many moons ago in Llanview. So
Haskell could be Marty from a certain POV... namely mine. So for
the moment Ian and Eve are a small piece of history, let's hope our
friends in the writing team
can keep it that way!
Frank continues to tangle ever
delicately with the Cookie situation. It's no surprise now that Cookie
is of course Rhonda, and that Cookie is getting very close to doing something
very radical with her life. What I'm
not sure is, is this:
Is Carolyn dead before Cookie starts talking to Frank or after? If
its after, PC's book 2 could having a very shocking conclusion.
After all, Karen did conceal the date of death for Carolyn... and it looks
to me like an M... as in May! So, going with the latter, Cookie
(aka Rhonda) will cause her sister's death some time in May 1973.
Therefore, from my armchair, I recommend that Frank take Karen's advice
and cease and desist. Why? Shouldn't Frank help
Cookie? Yes and no. Yes, cause it would be the right thing
to do. And no, because it would ruin the
right thing that Frank has with
Karen! If Cookie doesn't get thrown off the horse (figuratively speaking
mind you) in 1973, she won't meet fellow trouble
teen, Scott Baldwin, which means
Karen won't arrive, which could prove interesting as some parts of the
past could be rewritten (like the spring of 1998 for starters). But
then again, that would make GH too
complicated, but who cares,
JFP will switch things around so much that current GH-ers won't recognize
their town from a hole in the ground. Or so people who don't like
JFP have said. For us, we have to bear with it and move on, and review
the 2000 film Frequency to help Frank and Karen get by.
And once again, Chris gets the
shaft. I'm hoping and guessing that some kind of story will
be coming Chris' way soon, or perhaps Mr. North should pack up and
leave town (like we'd notice anyway. Can anyone whisper Courtney?).
Sure, we'd miss him. We miss him now. All of this, from every
story I have mentioned boils down to the writers having a messed
up sense of things, while the
network continues to wait for viewership to drop to dangerous levels.
More on that soon my little port chuckers!
So, will Port Charles be able
to give the valedictory address since it's the only Daytime show launched
in 1997 to make it to the senior class? Yes. To pull the plug
now flies in the face of good entertainment. ABC would suffer a backlash
that makes JFP's arrival look like a routine dental checkup, and proves
that the greenback and not groups of people count where this
show is concerned.
In the meantime, we just sit and wait and watch, from certain Point of
View... namely mine!
Sincerely yours...
